We have a package name registry, but no category registry. The current set of
Solaris packages only use "system" and "application", with the exception of
mostly the JDS packages. The Solaris SVR4 Requirements doc states:
The manpage for pkginfo(4) states:
CATEGORY A comma-separated list of categories under which
a package can be displayed. A package must at
least belong to the system or application
category. Categories are case-insensitive and
can contain only alphanumerics. Each category is
limited in length to 16 characters.
So I believe they must have at least "system" or "application", but additional
categories can be used.
